The article from the San Antonio Express-News discusses a new collaboration between the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and Space Center Houston aimed at advancing space exploration education and research. This partnership will focus on developing educational programs, research opportunities, and public engagement initiatives related to space. UTSA students and faculty will have access to unique learning experiences, internships, and research projects at Space Center Houston, which is adjacent to NASA's Johnson Space Center. The initiative includes plans for a new exhibit at Space Center Houston highlighting UTSA's contributions to space exploration, particularly in areas like lunar and Martian surface studies. This collaboration is part of a broader effort to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, especially in light of NASA's Artemis missions aimed at returning humans to the Moon and eventually Mars.
